Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Impact wrenches (heavy duty)
Oh gosh. I didn't even think about cordless.
So...maybe fifteen years ago I had a whole slew of Milwaukee 18v tools, amo=
ng them an impact wrench. It didn't suck, but it wasn't impressive either. =
The batteries weren't anything to write home about and I lost several quick=
ly and was always replacing them and they were expensive. I kind of wrote o=
ff the whole idea of cordless except for a (very) light duty drill/driver..=
.which I never need, so I don't have one.
Then, about a month ago when we got Snowpocalypse(TM) here (that's three in=
ches in this area, for the uninitiated) my F250 rear tire just...exploded o=
n the interstate. It was more the cold and the wind than the snow, and whil=
e I'm grumbling and crawling around the cab gathering tools (the jack and s=
ome of its tools live under one rear seat, other tools live under the other=
rear seat, the key for the spare wheel hoist is under every insurance card=
I've ever had--except the current one, of course--in the glove compartment=
, etc.) Triple-A pulls in in front me.
I hadn't called Triple-A. I was perplexed.
Dude jumps out, snatches a race jack and a plastic box from the back of his=
truck. Before I can say anything, he says, "looks like you're havin' some =
trouble, huh?" I nod. He yells, "I do this all day! Why don't you get the t=
ire and I'll get your wheel off!"
I'm already freezing my ass off, so I just grab the tire winch tools and ge=
t at it. Literally before I have the handle in the gear, he's got the jack =
under the axle and the truck is in the air. He pops open the plastic box an=
d it's a Milwaukee Fuel impact and a set of sockets.
My heart sinks--I'm already feeling bad for this guy in the cold trying to =
help, and how he's going to have to screw with this lightweight cordless im=
pact on the F250--
The wheel's already off. It was like watching a NASCAR pit stop. Seriously.=
My 2131 can lag a little on those lug nuts before spinning them. The Fuel =
cordless just ripped them RIGHT THE HELL OFF. Damnedest thing I've ever see=
n. My jaw dropped.
So now I'm cranking on the winch because we're waiting on *me* and he's got=
the rim in the bed and is trying not to look like I'm the limiting reagent=
here.
I get the spare, he pops it on, and the damn thing zips the nuts on just ab=
out as fast. No lagging at all. No slow BAP-BAP-BAP as it snugs up. Sounded=
like a woodpecker, if the woodpecker was ten feet tall and angry at someth=
ing.
It's freezing, but I'm staring at The Impact Wrench of The Gods, just stand=
ing there. He sees me staring, grins, and says, "yeah, I love that thing! H=
ave a great afternoon!"
And then he was gone. The whole thing happened so quickly I was left wonder=
ing if it even happened at all.
Anyway, I made a note to myself--which I forgot until now--to go out and bu=
y one of those things, because goddamn was that thing amazing. I have no af=
filiation with Milwaukee, and I wasn't even aware there was a 'Fuel' line o=
f cordless tools, but I will have that impact wrench. It was UNREAL.

I know you said air impact but you may want to look into the Milwaukee M18 =
Fuel cordless impact. They claim 1400 ft-lbs of torque breaking and 1000 f=
t-lbs tightening. I follow a couple heavy duty mechanics groups and this c=
ordless impact gets high scores with many guys preferring it over their pne=
umatic. There is even a 3/4" version available. I know I plan on replacin=
g my 18V DeWalt with one once I have the spare cash.
